It is a known fact to all knowledgeable Tai Ji practitioners.

Both NAB and RAB will massage your internal organs. The qi is never store anywhere, the RAB is only tighten up the abdominal muscle to protect the internal organs during a combat situation. For example, you can see the Chi Kung performers tightened the abdominal muscles to take a stick blow to the abdomen. When the abdominal muscles and other muscles are tightened, they act like a shield for the whole body. That is why it was called the iron shirt.

Is that a fact.....??? PS.... This is only a curiosity, not a challenge.......!!!

What do see when a white phoenix is standing on top of a snow mountain......???

Grok its quale.

sree... I have another one for you to translate....!!! 雪山白鳳凰

Yes, that may be. However, but not in this case.

I would prefer this method as the proper way for both normal and reverse breathing. It is because that is the most effective way to utilize the body energy. I think this is called the "anal lock".

The practice of Kung Fu requires to consume energy. Thus by the time you are finished, you will be exhausted due to the lactate build up in the muscles. Until you rested up and pay back the oxygen debt to the muscles, then your body will be recuperated and back to normal condition. Since all the energy were used up during practice, there was no more energy left over to build the Jing. In Chi Kung practice, you will breathe more oxygen into the body and the slow movements do not consume energy but built more than you can handle. That is why all Chi Kung practitioners are so energetic all the time. Any form of Kung Fu may not be considered as Chi Kung. They are independent of each other. That is why we have two different names given to them. Note: There is a difference between Jing(精) and Jin(勁).

Actrually, the "heart" doesn't mean as the physical organ. The ancients were referring the heart as "mind". That is where enlightenment comes in which was to enlighten the mind.

I think it was a misinterpretation of 無極(Wu Ji). Wu(無): none Ji(極): extreme 無極 is none to extreme; a state of none to none to the extreme of nothing. 太極（Ｔai Ji）: the ultimate extreme; the fullness; it is the complement of 無極(Wu Ji)

In Buddhism, there is a difference in life about suffering. The philosophy behind Buddhism is that there is suffering in an ordinary life. In order to get out of the suffering in the ordinary life is go into Buddhism. It is belief of "emptiness" in Buddhism to rid of all the suffering by stay out of contact with the ordinary way of living. In the mean time, Buddhists were trying to help others to stop from being suffering by easing their mind. Once a person have realized how to rid of suffering and become a Buddhist, it was considered that the person has been enlightened.

Thank you. That was the reason within no reason. I will reserve my comments on the healing sound and the inner smile color of the spleen. In the mean time, I will search for the yellow energy and make it to smile at my spleen.....

IMHO I don't think one can distinguish meditation to pin point to a particular organ. It is really hard to justify by claiming a particular meditation which was aiming at a particular organ. The things we breathe in only goes into the lungs and circulated by the blood. The function of the Respiratory and Circulatory Systems are always the same. Since the role of the Five Elements represent five major organs, therefore, we may come to a conclusion that meditation will effect all the internal organs in the interaction looping cycle.

Both TCM and Western medicine are trial and error. If one pill doesn't work try another. If one herb doesn't work, changed to another. The only merit about the TCM is there was no side effects.

Than we have problem, don't we......??? In that case, don't deal with it at all or following it blindly until the discovery of falsehood..... Eventually, the truth will come out. If one cannot detect the truth, then, I am very sorry for that person.

What is the secret of being ultra smart ? Just get the facts straight. Isolate the facts from the fallacies.

How did you know it was a meditation for the spleen but not for the heart......???

Well, muscles are not make for stretching but for contraction. I have not encountered any moves in Tai Ji that was stretched. If one pay close enough attention to all Tai Ji practitioners, one will see all the arms and legs were bent and never have stretched out. That is the principle of Yin-yang. The Yin is within Yang and Yang is within Yin. If the arms or legs were fully extended, then, we cannot be held accountable for this condition.

Yes, I wouldn't be concerned with the dates in particularity. This is enough confusion to deal with already.

I am glad that we have some people have knowledge of both TCM and Western Science. IMO When it comes to the exact science, I tend to lean toward the western side of the story. On the TCM, it is not as reliable is because all the conceptual thoughts were based on the presumption of the interaction between the elements in the Five Element System with no substantial facts.

I wouldn't say that too loud in China if I were you. .....

Yes, I know. The realm of Enlightenment to a Buddhist is more focus and significant to attain. As compared to a Taoist, the mind and body are more important than attaining the State of Enlightenment. That's all I was saying. Cultivation of the mind to a Taoist is more like to have a state of serenity rather than Enlightenment. However, enlightenment may come with the territory but not mandated to a Taoist.

"But don't you suppose the Sage is an enlightened one?" Everybody made it sound so easy to attain a state of enlightenment by doing some kind of Taoist practice. What I'm trying to say was not anybody can attain to such a state by just performing meditation.
